The innovative ZYTO scan technology facilitates an interface between a computer and the human body.

ZYTO gathers data from well-developed methods of measuring the body’s stress response. This data is then analyzed by the ZYTO software and presented in reports to assist you in making more informed wellness decisions.

ZYTO technology does not identify, diagnose, or treat any disease or medical condition.

Beginnings

In 1985, Dr. Vaughn Cook (founder of ZYTO) went to work for the Esion Corporation, the maker of the Interro biocommunication device. During his time at Esion, Dr. Cook worked in both sales and training and became familiar with every aspect of technology-based biocommunication.
In 1988, Dr. Cook left Esion to start a company named Digital Health Corp. There he developed an innovative computerized EAV system he called the Omega AcuBase. The Omega AcuBase was the first system of its kind to be registered with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
In 1997, Dr. Cook sold this technology to the BioMeridian Corporation, and for a short time worked for BioMeridian in sales, training, and eventually as its president. However, Dr. Cook left BioMeridian in 1998, choosing instead to focus his efforts on Digital Health’s core business.
In 2001, Dr. Cook independently began development of what is now ZYTO technology, and began selling the technology in late 2004 through Digital Health. At the end of 2004, he organized Zyto NV, and transferred his technology to the new organization including the ZYTO Hand Cradle, the initial software package, and the methods for programming computerized stimuli known as Virtual Items.
During the last 25 years, Dr. Cook has been continuously involved in the development and sale of biocommunication technology. During this time, he has also been actively involved in clinical practice as the owner of Utah Acupuncture Clinic and the Meridian Health Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. This clinical experience has strongly influenced the technology that Dr. Cook has developed and continues to develop in order to meet the changing needs of our customers.

Under the direction of Dr. Cook, ZYTO has continuously pursued product enhancements, further development of the technology, and a commitment to meeting the needs of our customers. During the intervening years, we have released multiple new versions of the software and developed new market-specific applications such as the ZYTO Compass and ZYTO Link app. More exciting innovations are to come!
